Discussion

High pressure is now over the region, which should bring nice temperatures through the week. We expect mostly sunny skies, light winds, and pleasant temperatures the next several days. As for dust, there will be elevated concentrations during the calm morning hours. However, we don't expect PM10 to threaten the federal health standard. Therefore, the dust risk level is forecast to remain Low through the forecast period.
